Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | What is the ruling on fasting with one intention, as we used to fast six days of Shawwal and make up for what we owe from the obligatory fast of Ramadan, and I have been fasting for a long time? What is the ruling on that, and do I owe the days I missed? Is there a sin on me, and what should I do?

Combining the Intention of Fasting for the Make-up of Ramadan and Shawwal

Question

What is the ruling on fasting with one intention, as we used to fast six days of Shawwal and make up for what we owe from the obligatory fast of Ramadan, and I have been fasting for a long time? What is the ruling on that, and do I owe the days I missed? Is there a sin on me, and what should I do?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: The intention to combine the making up of missed fasts with the six days of Shawwal is not valid, and it counts as making up for Ramadan, and thus you have no missed fasts to make up, and God knows best.
